Geocache Description:

Sand dunes are a unique habitat due in part to the important flora and fauna they contain and are very sensitive and highly threatened habitats throughout Europe. In Jersey, there is a long standing recognition of St Ouen’s Bay as being a ‘special place’, as it is the only large coastal open space left in the Island. The bay contains a number of different habitats, important not only to Jersey, but of high value in a British and European context.

Les Blanches Banques sand dunes are the key component of St Ouen’s Bay, which was designated as a Site of Special Interest (SSI) in 1996. The structure of the dune system, with its unusual topography, lack of development, and long views, creates a special quality of remoteness. Les Blanches Banques SSI is Jersey’s last remaining sand dune system. Measuring approximately 100 hectares, it is a site of international ecological importance due to the exceptionally high floral diversity and rarity of the habitat, and the many species of animals that use the area as a refuge.

This cache is possibly about discovering somewhere new to you along our stunning western coastline.  Take time to admire the view and maybe take a photo even.
